From Exhibition to Book - In September 2024, the original embroidered works were displayed in an inspiring exhibition at Beit Berl College. Merav's vision was to compile the embroideries into a book serving as a cultural ambassador in Israel and abroad. The book represents a broad spectrum of Israeli society—women of all ages, from a 17-year-old to a 97-year-old, secular, traditional, and religious individuals, and people from across the political spectrum. It highlights how art has the power to heal, strengthen, connect, and unify.
